[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Depend on Figure 1-6 The present invention relates to a pet bird feed dispensing device, comprising a feed cylinder 1, a discharge pipe 2 on the feed cylinder 1, a mounting frame 3 fixedly mounted on the discharge pipe 2, a feeding tray 4 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3, a feeding trough 5 on the feeding tray 4, and a feed dispensing drive mechanism mounted on the mounting frame 3. The feed dispensing drive mechanism includes a gear 6, a rack 7, and a shelf 8, wherein the gear 6 is coaxially fixedly mounted with the feeding tray 4, the gear 6 meshes with the rack 7, the rack 7 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 3 and can reciprocate in the vertical direction, and the shelf 8 is fixedly mounted on the rack 7.
[0025] A mounting bracket 9 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 3. A slide rod 10 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 9. A telescopic spring 11 is wrapped around the slide rod 10. A slot 12 is opened on the rack 7. The mounting bracket 9 slides with the slot 12. The rod hole on the rack 7 slides with the slide rod 10. The telescopic spring 11 is located inside the slot 12.
[0026] With this design, when the shelf 8 is not under load, the feeding trough 5 on the feeding tray 4 is located directly below the discharging pipe 2. When the shelf 8 is under load, the feeding trough 5 on the feeding tray 4 moves out of the mounting frame 3 and is in an upward tilted position. The specific process is as follows:
[0027] The pet bird feed dispensing device is placed in a suitable location. Feed is loaded into the feed hopper 1, and then, under its own weight, the feed flows through the discharge pipe 2 into the feeding trough 5 inside the feeding tray 4. When the pet bird needs to eat, it flies up and lands on the shelf 8. Under its own weight, the shelf 8 moves downward. The shelf 8 moves downward via the rack 7, and the rack 7 drives the feeding tray 4 to rotate via the gear 6, causing the feeding trough 5 inside the feeding tray 4 to move out. The area where the mounting bracket 3 is located is tilted, allowing the pet bird to stand on the shelf 8 to eat. After the pet bird finishes eating and flies away from the shelf 8, the rack 7 moves upward under the action of the telescopic spring 11. The rack 7 drives the shelf 8 back to its original position, and at the same time, the gear 6 drives the feeding tray 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the feeding trough 5 on the feeding tray 4 is once again below the discharge pipe 2, and the feed falls into the feeding trough 5 again through the discharge pipe 2 for the next feeding.
[0028] Specifically, a threaded area is formed on the slide bar 10, and a screw hole is formed on the fixing frame 9. The threaded area on the slide bar 10 and the screw hole on the fixing frame 9 are threadedly engaged. With this design, since the distance between the pet bird standing on the shelf 8 and the feeding trough 5 is different, the distance between the top of the rack 7 and the fixing frame 9 can be changed by rotating the slide bar 10, so as to adjust the descent distance of the rack 7 and ultimately adjust the height of the pet bird standing on the shelf 8 to meet the actual needs.
[0029] Specifically, the shelf 8 includes a connecting rod 13 and a horizontal rod 14. The horizontal rod 14 is fixedly connected to the rack 7 via the connecting rod 13, and the horizontal rod 14 is parallel to the edge of the feeding tray 4.
[0030] Specifically, the top of the feed cylinder 1 is screwed with a cover 15, and the outer wall of the feed cylinder 1 is fixedly provided with an active binding strap 16 and a driven binding strap 17. The active binding strap 16 is fixedly provided with a locking post 18, and the driven binding strap 17 is provided with a locking hole 19. The locking post 18 and the locking hole 19 are engaged and cooperated. With this design, the feed cylinder 1 can be tied to a suitable position, such as a window railing, by the locking post 18 on the active binding strap 16 and the locking hole 19 on the driven binding strap 17, so as to facilitate the installation of the device.
[0031] Specifically, the mounting frame 3 includes two side plates 20 connected as one piece and an arc-shaped part 21. The arc-shaped part 21 is located between the two side plates 20. The two side plates 20 are respectively attached to both sides of the feeding tray 4, and the arc-shaped part 21 is attached to the arc-shaped surface of the feeding tray 4. With this design, when the feeding trough 5 is detached from the mounting frame 3, the arc-shaped part 21 can block the discharge pipe 2 to prevent feed from spilling.
[0032] Furthermore, considering that when there is a large amount of feed in the feeding trough 5, its deflection may cause the feed to fall off, the inner walls on both sides of the feeding trough 5 are inclined. An elastic telescopic component is installed inside the discharge pipe 2, including a short pipe 23, a slip ring 24, and a retaining spring 25. A groove 22 is opened inside the discharge pipe 2, the slip ring 24 is fixedly mounted on the short pipe 23, and both the retaining spring 25 and the slip ring 24 are movably mounted within the groove 22, with the retaining spring 25 positioned above the slip ring 24. This design... When in use, since the bottom end of the short tube 23 is located inside the feeding trough 5, the feed in the feeding trough 5 will not be full. When the feeding trough 5 is deflected, the short tube 23 is squeezed by the inclined surface of the feeding trough 5, causing the short tube 23 to shrink into the inside of the discharge pipe 2. The arc-shaped part 21 blocks the short tube 23. When the feeding trough 5 returns to its original position, under the action of the clamping spring 25, the short tube 23 is placed inside the feeding trough 5 again, preventing the feed in the feeding trough 5 from being too much and falling out when it is removed.
